You know the Russian hackers are openly bragging online right now about hacking our elections.....

Konstantin Rykov--who himself in November 2016 bragged about allegedly running a Pro-Trump covert Russian campaign to target voters--posted a music video produced by an individual named Koyla Lebedev on his Facebook feed.

I'll link to his Facebook page directly because that's a safe platform for viewing. It should be the top post on his feed:

The accompanying message:

"My new track - petrovka 20-Russian hacker
P.S. specifically for CNN recorded a a confession. Yes, it was us! I'm sorry I didn't work with Maureen, but we'll be back in two years!"

The lyrics to the song, translated:

Russian hacker

Chorus:
Russian hacker, Russian hacker
Presidents of other countries
The Walkers are new to me
Bitcoin Euro dollars and black nal

Russian hacker, Russian hacker
The secret email of John Podesty I also broke
Bitcoin Euro dollars and black nal
Bitcoin Euro dollars and black nal

First Verse:
All day, no one was in the Suez Canal.
All day no one was looking for telegram channel
I've been sending a few zeros and one.
Crossing borders
Turning

Second Verse:
Counterintelligence was looking for me.
At night the code was collected - compile
Not when they were waiting.
Nolikami and units
Looking for us

The video itself is rather chilling, once you think about it.

The admittedly attractive young woman in the video is named Maria Katasonova, who's heavily promoted both Donald Trump and La Pen online during their respective campaigns.
